Crossing the famine: The hunter's wife has good farmland
Chapter 219: Building a Granary
Xiong Ben suddenly felt a little excited.
This was the first time he led a cavalry team to carry out a mission alone since becoming the captain of the cavalry team.
He said excitedly: "Yes, sir!"
In the middle of the night, Xiong Ben and his soldiers set off quietly without disturbing anyone. Even the people of the Yueluo tribe were unaware of this.
Life in the Yueluo tribe went on as usual. Every day, people who had not yet planted their crops would come to Yuelu to ask for seeds.
These people are the ones who are waiting and watching.
After all, farming has changed their previous way of life, and many people are still skeptical about whether farming can allow them to live a good life.
However, as more and more people started farming in the tribe, these people could no longer sit still.
After all, it is not always possible to have someone provide seeds and teach how to farm.
So after thinking about it, these people decided to give it a try as well.
As more and more people started farming, a sense of panic gradually set in the tribe.
Everyone comes to farm, and when autumn comes, the harvest of grains and vegetables will be considerable. Who will they sell these things to?
They can't possibly eat everything they grow, right?
Therefore, many farmers came to Yuelu to ask this question, which made Yuelu very anxious.
In the afternoon, there were finally not so many people coming, and Yue Lu found Mo Xiaonian with a sad face.
"Xiao Nian, as soon as these farmers planted their crops, they were already thinking about how to turn the crops into money after the harvest. They kept saying this to me every day, and it made me feel very nervous.
Now most of the families in our tribe have already planted their crops. When it comes time to harvest a large amount of crops, it will be a real problem to sell them!"
Mo Xiaonian shook his head helplessly.
"Grandma, we are the leaders of the tribe. We can't be these people's babysitters! If we arrange everything for them clearly, it will make them form a habit and think that we should solve all their problems. If there is something they can't solve in the future, they will come to us. Grandma, I think this is not good."
Mo Xiaonian's words made Yue Lu sober up a little.
Yes, aren't they in charge of too many things now? The path has been drawn for the people of the tribe. As for how they want to go, that's their business. As the leaders of the tribe, they can't do everything themselves, right?
Yuelu nodded.
"I understand, Xiao Nian. We really can't let them develop this habit. The next time they come over, I know how to answer them!"
Mo Xiaonian smiled and pulled Yue Lu's hand.
"That's right, grandma, otherwise we would be worried all the time. They have lived here for a year and know the surrounding markets better than anyone else. After harvesting, they can just take the products to the market and sell them.
If I had a smart mind like Sister Luhua and found a few restaurants and places to buy for the long term, I would have saved a lot of trouble.
In fact, we should not underestimate the people in the tribe. Their adaptability is definitely much stronger than we think, and they will be able to come up with solutions themselves when the time comes.
However, when grain and vegetables are put on the market in large quantities, the price will naturally fall. What we need to consider is not how to help these people sell vegetables, but how to store grain and process these grains and vegetables to make them more valuable. These are the things that we leaders should consider. "
Yuelu suddenly laughed.
"Xiao Nian, I have finally discovered that I, Yue Lu, am already forty years old, but it seems like I have lived in vain in the past forty years. I am not as clear-headed and far-sighted as a girl in her teens like you. I am really ashamed!"
"Why are you ashamed? I am just being clever, grandma. Now that the spring ploughing is done, we have to consider the autumn harvest. My general idea is to build a few large granaries in the village, and encourage the people to build small granaries at home to store food for a long time.
As a large tribe, food reserves are the most important thing. At least each family must store enough food for a year, so that if any unexpected situation occurs, we will be able to deal with it.
In addition, people can also be taught some methods of storing winter vegetables, such as pickling sauerkraut and pickles, and digging cellars to store radishes and potatoes.
After we store these things, we can sell them in the winter when the supply of vegetables is greatly reduced. The price will definitely be much higher than when they are put on the market in large quantities, and the people’s income will naturally increase.”
Yue Lu really wanted to take out a small notebook and write down everything Mo Xiaonian said.
These are so practical.
So starting from the next day, Yue Lu arranged for local authorities to start building granaries, and from time to time he held meetings for the people to convey Mo Xiaonian's ideas.
As more and more Yuelu meetings were held, the people became less confused.
Yes, what's the point of thinking so much now? Just grow the grains and vegetables first, at least you can ensure that your family won't starve, and then you can find a way to sell the rest.
The number of people coming to the administrative center suddenly decreased, and Mo Xiaonian knew that Yue Lu had conveyed her words as she had said.
She found Yuelu and said with a smile: "Grandma, what I said is quite useful!"
Yue Lu has never been stingy with her praise for Mo Xiaonian.
"That's really useful. I find that you and Fu Cang are a perfect match. One is responsible for external affairs, and the other is responsible for internal affairs. As long as you two are here, our tribe will have no worries about development and growth."
"Hehe, that's a must. We must grow and develop so that we can ensure that our descendants will no longer have to live a life of displacement and being bullied by others.
Don't worry, grandma. Everything will be fine once our tribe becomes famous. Once the people in all the surrounding tribes know that the food and vegetables grown in our tribe are very good, merchants will naturally come to our door to discuss purchasing. At that time, we can sell all the food without leaving our house."
Yue Lu's heart became clear after hearing what Mo Xiaonian said.
"That's great! When that day comes, we won't have to worry about these things anymore. We can just wait to collect taxes!"
"Yes, the most important thing is that all this is just the beginning. Once we lead all the people in the tribe through this process this year, things will go smoothly in the future and we won't have to worry about these things."
